Get rid of it.

We all know how to bypass it and anyone wanting to swear does anyway.

Yeah, I stole it.

I just don't like the fact that calling someone a retard was censored a while back, no one gets offended by it around here cause everyone at some point is.

Its not for us. It's for the random outsiders who find this site. Also, discussion has a few less rules than the other forums. If you were swearing up a storm in Q&A you might be asked to stop, etc.

Also, smash, I don't think I've ever seen you have a constructive comment in help and feedback and here is my official asking you to stop. This forum isn't for bashing. I know that comment wasn't bad, but I've seen you call people 'retarded' in here. Users deserve help, no matter how silly the question and they deserve to get it without fear of some member--especially someone who appears to have some standing what with the bold and colored name (regardless of the fact that your position is obsolete)--bashing them because they need help.

Anyway, if people don't want stupid responses, don't ask stupid pointless questions. Humans were developed with brains for a reason, it's too bad most people can't use them before asking dumbass questions.

You just complained about not being able to call people retards without having to do a little editing. It came from the fact that this really isn't the forum to spam or flame so go ask to call people retards elsewhere. I don't know if you've noticed, but I tend to take everything but discussion a little more seriously. sleep.gif

People can ask whatever questions they want. Perhaps they are dumb questions, but that doesn't mean you should belittle them here. Especially coming from a guy who always jumps up and down with his hand in the air whenever a mod position is mentioned. I'm just getting a little sick of it.

And yes. You got my panties in a twist.

I thought this might be the case. Worth trying I guess.

laugh.gif I don't belittle people, I just laugh at them for being stupid and yeah we should be able to call people retards in Discussion if we want. I am sorry if people can't take stupid little meaningless jokes, I was under the impression that you had to be at least 13 to register on this site, if people are going to cry about getting laughed at or made fun of, they need to grow some fricking balls.

And to reiterate, you make a stupid post, you will get the appropriate response. Go complain to someone who cares, none of the other mods seem to have any issues with me, but then again sometimes I wonder why spammers were made mods over someone who isn't, at the end of the day I don't fricking care. If you want I could be even meaner, because trust me I can be and it isn't that hard to do.

Society is becoming so PC that everyone is afraid to hurt or offend another person. Jeez, get over it people, there isn't a swearing filter in real life conversation, why should this be any different?

.... although most people understand that there are times when swearing isn't appropriate and moderate themselves accordingly. Nothing to do with 'PC,' just good manners. In relation to the site: It's preferable to keep this place accessible and user-friendly to as many people as possible and if filters (and moderation by the Mods) on content that certain users (or, perhaps more significantly, their network administrators in colleges/workplaces/etc) might find inappropriate facilitates that then so be it. Whilst personally I'm not particularly offended by swearing, I can certainly survive without the ability to do so on a guitar forum.
